Christ laid out on that dark mountain forty
days and forty nights without Il bite of bread
to eati Jesus Christ suffered in Gethsemane,
died on the cross to save you and me. What
are You doing to save the world around you?
The spirit OF love. sister. Whenever you love
your husband right you are going to take
those decanterS and demij johns out In the
back yard and break every one OF them. You
will, that. Many woman in this
country has passed the liquor when at home
to her husband, and when not ut home, has
passed it to herself Laughter. Do you get
the idea? Some of you women would die be-
fore you would do that but others Of you
look guilty right now. Law me, have stood
and read faces many time. You can pick
out here and yonder. Whenever you hit one,
down goes the eyes. You watch, and some
try to put on an air of innocence. God for
give US Oh. my sister, let love, let love be
the ruling passion of your heart; the rule of
every word, every act every decision. Now,
i'll conclusion, let me say q few words to you
daughters. Young ladies, listen. OF all
the charming creatures / ever saw IN
my life, it is an obedient, kind, considerate
daughter. daughter that copsults mother
and father. have got as bad children rs
anybody in this world, reckon; but 1 have
got one child that is just continual
STREAM OF BLESSING
to my soul. L have got others that have not
seen any wings putting out on them yet.
laughter They are not angels, to say the
least Of it. Renewed laughter But one
child she is considerable, obedlent, and | can
trust her word under any emergency. Young
ladies', when you get so your mother
cln not rely on what you say,
you are getting into pretty bad
shape. My little boy said: Papa, it is
worse to Tell lie than to steal" l asked
steal something you can carry it back; but
if GU tell Il lie, what can you do?' There is
some philosophyin that. Daughter, where have
you been and who have you been with? Law
me- there Is many girl that has quit being
candid with her mother, and she is on the
high road to everlasting ruin. Do you want
to know why / think so much about my little
children? / will tell you about it. am
little careful about my daughters; do not al
low them to go to balls and parties anu
such as that. / am trying to make home the
best place and to give them every pleasure
and joy at home; and when my children get
so they cannot enjoy life except by running
around then it is about time FOR me to quit
the business. Home ought to be the most
sacred place in the world, and Will tell you
mothers and fathers right now let your home
be so sacred that child cannot not hold its
head up there If it does wrong. Now listen,
this daughter said father so and so is going to
come Off; may / go? Well, l said,
darling, do you want to go! and
she said, if you want me to go L
want to go, but If you do not do not care to
Or want to go;' and she was talking right out
of the bottom Of he heart. Some daughters
say, "Can so to so and SOP" mo, do not
want you 10 co. aud then, and then, and
then, my, my, do you know that daughters
especially are good deal like certain style
of horse have seen? Get him started down
the road at Il four-mile an hour gait, and you
check him up all right; then six miles, check
him up all right; then eight miles an hour
gait, check him up and he kicks everything
ALL TO PIECES
/ saw that very thing in Il crowd some time
ago. Young lady asked to go to certain
place and the mother said that she should
not go, and the daughter just turned around
and kicked a chair clear across the house
Laughter. A daughter that will give her
mother slack-iaw--my, my Gigglingl. You
may all giggle, but that is just exactly what
ii is. and there amt any slang about it,
either slack" is a good English word and |
know Jaw is Laughter. How sorry
am for a mother who has lost control OF her
daughter TO the point where she
dare not speak her mind. You
know your daughter will go tile
theater or somewhere, and you no more dare
tell her she sha'n't than you would kill her.
Girls, listen, you are on the high road to
ruin; you are going to Overtake this com
mon, city dude in your backward career and
marry him. My, my, my. AND your Old
mother, she is so anxious about your marry
ing, too. My daughters are obliged TO go
out into society; If | do not put them out
they will die old maids" If you raise your
daughters up right and let them be what they
ought to be. let me tell you you would not
have to push them out at all. Sisters, IL had
some daughters like you have got, be-
lieve would push them; they need 1t. GIRLS,
listen. 1t mas reached Il point in this nine
teenth century where girls will not have much
to do with a wool-hcaded boy who won't be
made to part his hair in the middle. Oh these
dudes you can smell them before you get
within ten feet Of them; the finest pertumery
in the market. Whenever you see boy with
perfume on him, you tell him to git. What
does a boy want with new~Down hay? |
stopped at house where the mother pushed
4 daughter into the
ARMS OF A DUDE.
Twelve months after the marriage when we
sat down at the dinner taDle there came
tripping into the room little, pale shadow
of woman. She was introduced as my
daughter, Mrs. So and So, and she got through
eating before any of us. After she walked
out the mother said, Brother Jones, that is
orr poor, unfortunate daughter; she married
and her husband committed IL forgery" Oh,
nv Lord, how much of that sort of stuff is
gong on. That little dude. Ever see one?
He Just looks like he has been melted and
poured into his pants laughter, and he parts
his hair in the middle, and parts his name
in the middle and parts his whiskerS in the
middle. Laughter renewed. The dude.
Mother, il you push your daughters into So
ciety there is where they will land in the
arms, safe in the arms, of "A dude. That's a
fact. and l will tell you where she catches
them, it is in bathrooms. / say to you, my
brother and sister, in all love and kindness,
let your daughters be so raised and so train
them at your home that in all things your
daughters will be 20 the community and to
the world charming set of girls that
will draw and attract without any of
what we call the pushing force" Now
In conclusion / want to say this: Mother,
have said be copsecrated to God; wife, be a
consecrated Christian; daughter. all have
said is summed upin the one wOrd-be con-
secrated Christian and live for God and
eternal life. And now these my lastwords in
Minneapolis, maybe forever and maybe only
for short time cannot tell; but listen to
me-let you and / dedicate our home to God
and live for heaven aud eternal life. The sad
news from home to-day, brings the intelli-
gence that l must go. For six days nv wife
has suffered and has not slept wink without
opiates. This morning the telegram said

work; but my first duty is 10 the best wife
God almost ever gave man, and would not
neglect her for anything else under the shin

has committed 10 every man. While have
been away, wife has prayed every day. do
not know which one Of us will die first. |
have prayed every day, Oh God let
me go first: she is better capable
OF taking care of children than L.
And now / want you to say, the last
you ever saw of that man he was doing this.
